First off, good post. Pics are always a nice touch. Luckly for you I just finished rebuilding/ remodeling Swatt13 's 203 for his Xm8. I ran into a fairly similar problem. One thing to check Is the main hinge pin that you have shown in the first pic, while it may be tight and seem to be in good condition you should take a look at it and see it there isn't some wear on the pin or the tab pivot hole. His had some slight wear that caused the main tab to then go off plain. if it the pivot hole in the tab thats wearing you could always drill it bigger and use a thin bushing or bearing that should get it back on plain. While you are checking the pin and pivot hole check the laching tab it's self to ensure some didn't bend it on you. Also as a side note all pins and screws should be snug on the 203 so if your going to be doing all this work to it you should check it out extensively and do it all in one shot. I went through swatt13 203 and was lucky what we tried works great IMHO I hope things work as well for you.
Again Great post and I hope what I have said helps. Good luck :cheers:
